ISS 2000

Better than its predecessor ISS98, ISS2000 is far one of the best football games released on the consoles.

Review

International Superstar Soccer 2000 is one of the best football games ever released on a console, featuring realistic gameplay in a 3D enviroment. The game was the first to feature play-by-play commentary. Also the weather conditions during the game may change too! The gameplay is smooth and fast. Experience the new Career Mode - bring youngsters through the ranks to create individual star players. A minor thing is that you cannot switch players on your won, instead the CPU decides for you(!) but still the game is quite playable. The ball has lost the stickiness of ISS64 and can run into free space and not always to a player (like in ISS 98) - also rebounds on players, for more realism. A classic, stylish football game.

The 3D graphics are very nice and the stadiums are exceptionally detailed. The players move smoothly at the pitch with no frame-rate issues at all. The sound is great, although a bit repetitive but it's exactly what is needed for a football game (the spectators voice behave differently depending when playing at home or away).
